How you make a living online, earn through blogging as you study: For students and jobless graduates/Photo

Blogging for Students

There a comes a time in life where you will start regretting why you did not make use of the free time and WiFi you had in campus. And before that time comes take action.

Most successful business people in the world lay their foundation in university and College. An example of those include;

Microsoft-Founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen while at Harvard University in 1975. Bill is the richest man in the world.

Google-Founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while at Stanford University in 1998. The founders are among the richest people in the world.

Dropbox-Founded by Arash Ferdowski and Drew Houston while at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2007

Dell-Founded by Michael Dell while at University of Texas at Austin in 1984.

This is just but a list of the few billionaires who founded their business in campus. Therefore, you will agree with me that a successful student is not the one who gets a first class honors but that who keeps his studies on par with some kind of business or ideas enabling him to earn money.

Making Money through Blogging as a student, graduate and or employed

Blogging is so far the best ways I have ever know of making money online while studying. Top pick it up well, start blogging on topics you have interest in or you are studying about (e.g Technology, Nursing, Fashion, Tourism, Engineering, Business ).

If you start a blog in a topic that you have no interest in then I promise you that you will run out of ideas before even you start earning from it. That is why many people start blogging and in one year they abandon.

NOTE: As you read this guide, it is good to have it in mind that it does not matter how much traffic your blog receives, you can make money from blogging with any traffic. There are blogs in Kenya that receive more traffic than Kenyayote.com but cannot make a quarter of the money we make in a month. Focus on what you want and how to get it.

Lies about Making Money from blogging in College and University

Most students who start their blogs in-order to make money get disappointed because it takes too long to earn. Yes, some bloggers do make millions of dollars from their blogs but it is good to understand that they spent sleepless night working and investing on their blogs before they begun making such colossal amount of money. Working on improving your site is more important.

That if you share your content on social media groups severally your website traffic will increase. The truth is that if you do not have great content, it does not matter how many times you share your post on instagram, twitter, Facebook e.t.c

The naked truth is that blogging in not rocket science. It requires passion, hard work and persistence to make it.
